Strictly faces fresh scandal as 'married contestant kisses female pro'

Strictly Come Dancing Faces New Scandal Over Kiss Video

Strictly Come Dancing is once again at the center of controversy after a video showing a married contestant kissing a female professional dancer has reportedly emerged. The clip, filmed at Elstree Studios, lasts about 12 seconds and is said to have the potential to "rock the very foundations" of the popular BBC show, which has long been associated with the "Strictly curse."

In recent months, the show has faced numerous challenges, including low-quality celebrity lineups, sex scandals, an internal drugs probe, and allegations of abuse and bullying among dancers.

The Controversial Video

The video, allegedly recorded by a member of the production team, reportedly captures a family man and former contestant leaning in to kiss a female professional dancer, who is sitting on his knee.

Concerns About Personal and Public Impact

Sources reveal the clip is widely shared via WhatsApp and warn that if it were to go public, it could "destroy the long-standing marriage to his adorable and kind wife" and harm the contestant’s family-friendly image.

"This incident has been the talk of Strictly for the past couple of years. The kiss only lasts a few seconds but it would more than likely end his marriage and destroy his carefully cultivated family man image."
"It has been shared around on WhatsApp though as everyone is slightly sickened by this pair’s duplicitousness, especially as they always knocked down scurrilous romance rumours."
Ongoing Fallout

The revelation intensifies the scrutiny on the show, deepening concerns about the authenticity of public personas and the internal struggles cast members face.
